Originally from Lagao, General Santos City, Darlene specializes in mental health and gerontology while raising her family, together with her husband, Jesus “Bong” Borromeo. With more than 30 years of professional experience, she takes pride in what she does. “Whatever project I do or whatever I’m involved in, it’s still about my being a nurse. I’m a nurse first before I became a wife before I became a mother. But all of these come together to define who I am,” Darlene shares more on pages 10-12.

Unlike Darlene, if you find it difficult to achieve a balance between your working hours at the office and your personal time at home, you are not alone. However, there are practical means and ways to attain that elusive balance.

Here are some:

Know Your Limitations: Start delegating your tasks, e.g. research work, presentation materials, among your staff or employees. Also, teach your son or daughter to do the laundry or shop for groceries when you’re away from home.

Prioritize: List down what are the most important to-do list for the day and what can be done tomorrow or by the end of the week.

Eat Healthily: Eat a variety of foods in small amounts. A healthy diet is a key to a sound mind and body.

Put Down Your Mobile Phone: Don’t you realize you’re spending a lot more time on your phone and social media nowadays instead of getting up to exercise, walk your dog, or
strike a conversation with your colleagues, friends, and family?

Plan Holidays: Together with your family and close friends, take a short break from work at least twice in a year.

The New Clark City, also called Clark Green City, is one of the flagship projects of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program, which aims to decongest Metro Manila, the nation’s largest urban center.

The 9,540-hectare development, located in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Capas and Bamban, Tarlac, is envisioned to be the country’s first smart, sustainable, and disaster-resilient metropolis—where nature, business, education, and technology coexist.

The first phase of the development, spearheaded by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA)—the same group behind the progressive development of the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig—is expected to be completed in 2022.

BCDA describes the ambitious project as “mixed-use real estate developments for housing, a business continuity center, which will house national government agencies, an agro-industrial park, and an international food market.
